Rogers walked two and Kyle Schwarber reached on catchers’ interference to open the ninth. Trea Turner grounded into a forceout to make it 5-3. Bryce Harper’s RBI single pulled the Phillies to 5-4. After a walk loaded the bases, Alec Bohm swung at the first pitch and a short chopper got Turner out at home.
Marsh grounded out and Rogers somehow hung on for his fourth save.
Andrés Giménez and Josh Smith homered for Toronto.
The Blue Jays knocked Philadelphia ace Zack Wheeler — who pitched a combined five innings in his last two starts — out of the game with one out and the bases loaded in the sixth inning. The right-hander threw 116 pitches, his highest total since he threw 118 in a May 6, 2021, shutout against Milwaukee.
Wheeler (10-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and walked five.
The Blue Jays added a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning for a 4-2 lead and help spoil the result on former Phillies second baseman Chase Utley’s induction into the team’s Wall of Fame.
